Not many teenagers experience the life of a celebrity singer, so it’s easy to fantasize over how that life would go. It’s precisely the appeal of Violetta, one of the few forays Disney Channel made outside of America, which somewhat plays out like Hannah Montana without the double life shenanigans. Tini: The New Life of Violetta is the final film to cap off the show, and like plenty of teenybopper series, it has the cheesy miscommunications and cliche conflicts hastily strung together with aesthetic music videos and randomly arranged dance numbers supposedly in the name of finding yourself and living your life, etc. etc. But, while it isn’t the most original or romantic summer teen movie, Tini: The New Life of Violetta still manages to be a sweet send-off for the Latino fans that grew up watching the show, and one that gently eases Tini’s move from cute teenybopper sitcom lead to Argentinian pop star.
A teen star ventures out to the Italian countryside for a summer and emerges a new artist.
Returning from a worldwide tour, Violetta is surprised in the middle of an interview to hear media rumors about her boyfriend Leon cheating on her with a fellow celebrity. Because of this, she decides to venture out into the Italian countryside for the summer.
Italy is so gosh darn beautiful…
I get that it’s meant to be a metaphor, but if you must bring a piano all the way to the top of a hill, please hire professional movers rather than let your friends accidentally break their backs for the aesthetic.
